Sanded wood floor in Soho with Pallmann Magic Oil 2K ready for application

Sanding and Oiling in Soho

Silver Lining Floor Care transformed a DIY-sanded floor in Soho into a stunning bare wood masterpiece using Magic Oil Pure, highlighting its natural beauty while ensuring long-term protection.

Transforming DIY Sanding into Professional Perfection

A client in Soho approached us after attempting to sand their floor themselves but needed professional assistance for the oiling. Upon inspecting their work, we found significant belt marks, untouched corners, and inconsistencies in the sanding. It became evident that the sanding required a complete redo before we could apply the oil. With our expertise and equipment, we carefully re-sanded the floor, ensuring an even, smooth surface ready for oiling. Despite the challenges, including gaps filled with white wood filler, our team worked diligently to prepare the floor for the final finish. We recommended Magic Oil Pure from Pallmann, a premium product that enhances the natural tones of wood while offering a durable, matte finish. The result was a stunning transformation—bringing the client’s vision of a bare wood effect to life.

Choosing the Perfect Finish: Clear vs. Pure Oil

Selecting the right finish was crucial for achieving the desired bare wood effect. To help the client visualize their options, we demonstrated how the floor would look with a clear oil finish by splashing water on the sanded surface. While the clear finish highlighted the natural tone, we also showcased the unique charm of Pallmann Magic Oil Pure, which slightly darkens the wood for a richer, more captivating aesthetic. After careful consideration, the client chose Magic Oil Pure, inspired by its ability to camouflage imperfections and create a warm, elegant finish. This decision not only enhanced the floor’s appearance but also provided the durability needed for long-term use.

Our Sanding and Oiling Process

Our process begins with a detailed inspection to evaluate the floor’s condition and identify any problem areas. We prepare the surface by re-sanding uneven sections to create a smooth, consistent base. Next, we apply Pallmann Magic Oil Pure evenly to achieve a flawless finish that highlights the wood’s natural charm. After meticulous final touches and a thorough inspection, we provide maintenance tips to help preserve the floor’s beauty for years to come.

FAQs

Magic Oil Pure is not ideal for all wood types, as the pure effect or staining is not recommended for exotic timbers.

Clear oil impacts the wood’s colour as water or clear lacquer, preserving its natural tone, while Pure oil contains a built-in white pigment designed to maintain the “naked” look of the wood.

Regularly clean with a pH-neutral wood floor cleaner and consider periodic re-oiling to refresh the finish.

First time using Silver Lining. Absolutely excellent job done cleaning our lounge rugs and carpets, and also our whole hallway and stairs by their cleaner Mick using a truck-mounted cleaning system. Will definitely be using them in the future.

Super results, pleasant and professional workers, constructive and flexible process. Big thank you to the team! Got the floor of one room, which was very worn and damaged, sanded down, re-stained and lacquered. Particular challenge was trying to match the rest of the flat's flooring, which I didn't know what products had been used on it. The team was super engaged in trying to work this problem, and the results were fantastic.

Silver Lining Floor Care did an outstanding job sanding and oiling the floors in my new flat. They successfully removed all stains and scratches, leaving the floor looking brand new. The team was very professional throughout the process, providing a detailed quote before starting and offering various options to suit my needs.

Johnny and the team were very professional. We had lots of calls to discuss reconditioning our Reclamed Burmese teak parquet floor. We planned the dates for when we went away on holiday. His team were trustworthy reliable with great communication! when we came back from holiday the floor was completed and the treatment is holding up well two months later, much better than the original treatment which was a hard wax oil that only lasted 2 years! it was applied by general builders with no expertise in wood floor treatments. This time we went with a lacquer with hardener, we have a big Labrador dog and we still have no visible scratches on the surface and we look forward to seeing how it holds up with the test of time!
